The Sun

Solar activity was at low levels. Region 3536 (Eai/beta-gamma) was still the most magnetically complex regions, but exhibited a decaying trend and had little activity during the period. Region 3537 (N18W35, Hax/alpha) was quiescent. Region 3538 (N25W54, Cai/beta) exhibited decay in the earlier half of the period, but then redeveloped additional spots in the latter half. Region 3539 (N11W12, Cao/beta) produced the largest flare of the period, a C7.3/2n flare, at 08/0959 UTC despite showing signs of decay. Region 3540 (S17E31, Dki/beta-gamma) was the other magnetically complex region, yet only managed low-level C-class flares. Region 3541 (S20E29, Dai/beta) gained several spots, along with a beta-gamma magnetic configuration. Region 3542 (N19W29, Hax/alpha) was quiet and stable. Region 3543 (S05W34, Dai/beta) appeared to grow, adding larger trailer spots by the end of the period. Region 3544 (N19E47, Hax/alpha) remained quiet and unchanged.

The solar kp index is quiet, with no changes to retrograde effects. The solar wind speed is currently above average, making retrograde effects moderately increased.

The solar wind environment was at nominal levels until ~08/1822 UTC when a small enhancement was noticed on the DSCOVR spacecraft. Total magnetic field strength went from averaging 3 nT to just under 10 nT, Bz saw a couple of minor southward deviations to around -5 nT, and solar wind speeds had a small bump from ~315 km/s to ~360 km/s. Phi angle remained in a positive orientation throughout the period. All likely associated with the interaction of the anticipated CH HSS.

There is a 25% chance of solar activity, with a 5% chance of a minor event, a 1% chance of a moderate event, and a 1% chance of a strong event.

Moon Is In Sagittarius

Ahoy, celestial voyagers! Let me put on my lab coat and adjust my glasses to tell you this: The Moon is hanging out in Sagittarius. Yes, indeed! Now, don't ask me to point exactly where, because even with GPS I still get lost in my own living room. But trust me, it's there, a whopping 375,248.154851438 kilometers away, give or take a few centimeters - and if that doesn't sound like social distancing, I don't know what does! Now, Sagittarius is known for its adventurous spirit, its love for existential debates, and its tendency to overpack for vacations (you never know when you'll need that inflatable unicorn floaty). So, with the moon there, we're all feeling a bit of that Sagittarian energy. You might find yourself contemplating life's big questions like "why are we here?", "what's the meaning of life?" and "why do socks always disappear in the laundry?" But hang on to your telescopes folks, because in the next 24 hours, our lunar buddy is packing up its cosmic suitcase and moving into the neighborhood of Capricorn. This means get ready for some serious productivity vibes. It's like going from a wild party to a board meeting within 24 hours. So, my advice? Take advantage of this Sagittarian energy while it lasts. Have a deep conversation, take a risk, maybe even plan a trip (to the backyard, given the current circumstances). And when Capricorn comes knocking, welcome it with a to-do list in one hand and a coffee cup in the other. Remember, even though socks disappear, the universe has a funny way of balancing things out. Stay starry-eyed, my friends!

Mercury

Mercury is prograde at 25 Sag 22' 25", moving at 0.8 degrees per day, and is 141708315km away and receding.

Mercury Is In Sagittarius

Greetings, celestial explorers! It's time to break out those existential binoculars and aim them at the vast cosmic ocean because our buddy Mercury, who's been lounging around in Sagittarius, is about to shake things up. Imagine a hipster wearing a monocle in a microbrewery, that's the level of detail Mercury is bringing to Sagittarius's grand plans. Now, Sagittarius is more of a "big picture" kind of sign, always on the lookout for the next big adventure or philosophical conundrum to untangle. The Archer's got its arrow pointed at the stars, dreaming about tomorrow. With Mercury in the mix, it's like having a meticulous fact-checker in your brainstorming session - making sure the ideas you're spinning can actually hold up in this universe (or any multiverse, for that matter). When Mercury and Sagittarius team up, it's like a science fair on steroids. We're talking enthusiastic hypotheses, confident conclusions, and debates so passionate they could power a small spacecraft. Just remember, dear stargazers, to pack your reason along with your excitement. It's all fun and games until someone starts arguing that the Earth is flat. One word of caution though - Mercury in Sagittarius has the tendency to be as tactful as a bull in a china shop. Picture yourself as a hyper-intelligent alien trying to communicate with humans without revealing you're from another planet. That's the level of subtlety we're aiming for here. Don't let your words leap out of your mouth faster than a proton in a particle accelerator. Sagittarius, represented by the Archer, encourages us to explore beyond our usual hunting grounds. If you're feeling the pull to learn a new language, backpack across Mars, or finally start that job at the intergalactic coffee shop, now's the time! So, buckle up, space cadets! With Mercury in Sagittarius, the sky's not the limit, it's just the beginning!

Venus

Venus is in Sagittarius

Venus is prograde at 12 Sag 41' 33", moving at 1.22 degrees per day, and is 184431669km away and receding.

Venus Is In Sagittarius

Greetings, star gazers and cosmic enthusiasts! Remember to wear your nerdy glasses because we're about to take a sassy, scientific tour through the cosmos - destination: Venus in Sagittarius! Now, before we get lost in the romance of it all, let's remember that Venus is currently 184,389,002.578997850km away and moving prograde (that's space-speak for "in the same direction as most other planets"). So, no need to pack your bags just yet. As Venus waltzes her way through Sagittarius, she's like a supercharged DJ, cranking up the volume on our hearts, encouraging us to live life like it's a never-ending dance floor. It's time to dust off your social butterfly wings, try out some new dance moves, and maybe even look for love in unexpected places (like in the non-fiction section of your local bookstore). Sagittarius, the cosmic adventurer, has this knack for making everything seem exotic, including your daily latte. This transit could mean swapping out your old, worn-out routines for something brighter, better, and with more foam on top. Love isn't staying still during this transit, it's doing the cha-cha! Now, Sagittarius isn’t known for putting down roots, so as Venus does her celestial twirl here, remember to keep love breezy, open, and avoid taking things too seriously. Those in relationships might want to add some spice by booking a trip to a place neither of you have been before. Singles, keep your eyes peeled for love popping up in the most unexpected places – like a Star Trek convention (hey, don't knock it till you've tried it!). But hold onto your telescopes, folks, because honesty is the best policy while Venus is in Sagittarius. That shiny, new object (or person) might just be fool's gold. Sure, everything seems grander than a supernova right now, but once the stardust settles, you may find they're just an ordinary asteroid after all. While Venus is waltzing through Sagittarius, we may develop a craving for excitement and pleasure faster than a black hole devours stars. Be wary of emptying your wallet faster than light speed - Sagittarius does enjoy a bit of financial risk! However, investing in a new course of study or a faraway travel experience could be a worthwhile venture. So in short, during this Venus in Sagittarius transit, let's channel our inner optim

Mars in Capricorn: A Dalek's Delight

Alright, space cadets, listen up! Mars, the red-headed stepchild of our solar system, has parked itself in Capricorn, and oh boy, do we have some cosmic comedy lined up for you! Now, let's get one thing straight: Mars in Capricorn is no intergalactic joyride. No, sir. It's more like a Dalek from Doctor Who trying to manage a yoga class. (And if you've ever seen a Dalek, you know how hilariously impossible that sounds.)

See, Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, the celestial equivalent of that one friend who always insists on organizing the road trip itinerary down to the very last rest stop. So when Mars, the planet of action and adventure, moves into this sign, expect less impulsive galactic gallivanting and more careful strategic planning. It's like firing up your rocket engines only to realize you're on a meticulously charted course.

This transit is all about efficiency and purpose. Imagine a Dalek not only questioning its mission to exterminate but also pondering the method of extermination. Should it use its death ray or try out that new energy dome it's been tinkering with in the garage? That's Mars in Capricorn for you.

Of course, just like a Dalek thrives on conflict, both Mars and Capricorn relish a good challenge. This is a fantastic time to start that side project you've been procrastinating on, or finally finish that 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle of the Orion Nebula. Go forth and conquer, but remember, even Daleks need to recharge their energy domes once in a while.

Be warned though: Mars and Capricorn can be as sensitive as a Dalek's casing. They're all about climbing that cosmic ladder of success, even if it means accidentally stepping on a few star-shaped toes along the way. So remember to put on your compassion spacesuit. After all, no one wants to become the interstellar version of Scrooge.

So, there you have it folks! Mars in Capricorn: A time for strategy, efficiency, and the occasional bit of Dalek-style domination. Just remember: Exterminate your tasks, not your relationships!

Jupiter

Jupiter is in Taurus

Jupiter Is In Taurus

Ahoy cosmic voyagers! Welcome to another episode of "Spaced Out", your one-stop solution for all things celestial, served with a side of nerdy humor. Our topic du jour? Good old Jupiter taking a stroll through the sign of Taurus. Just imagine Jupiter, the big brain of our solar system, moving into Taurus, the most inert, couch-potato sign of the zodiac. It's like your physics professor deciding to crash your Netflix binge party. Suddenly, your "chill" time is filled with profound wisdom and existential discussions. Who knew that deep down, amidst all the popcorn crumbs and soda cans, you've been harboring some profound insights all along? This cosmic transit is like the universe shouting, "Surprise! You're smarter than you think!" It's like finding out that your beloved teddy bear is actually a secret agent or that your dog can speak fluent French. It's time to dust off those dormant brain cells because they are about to get a serious workout! Now, Jupiter in Taurus isn't just about turning your life into an impromptu philosophy seminar. It's also about making solid progress towards your dreams. It's like having a personal life coach who not only inspires you but also helps you create a practical plan. You know, the kind that involves to-do lists, timelines, and a whole lot of determination. Let's not forget, this transit also carries the promise of prosperity. Jupiter, the planet of good luck, meeting Taurus, the sign of wealth, is like winning the cosmic lottery! If you play your cards right, you might just find a pot of gold at the end of this astrological rainbow. But remember folks, Taurus loves indulgence. And Jupiter? Well, it's known to amplify everything it touches. So, when these two come together, it's like having an all-you-can-eat buffet in front of a foodie. It's essential to remember that while treating yourself is important, moderation is key. So there you have it, space nerds! Jupiter in Taurus is here, and it's time to get our wisdom on, make some progress, and maybe even score some extra cosmic cash. Just remember to keep it balanced, or you might end up with a celestial food coma. Until next time, keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground!

Saturn

Saturn is in Pisces

Saturn is prograde at 04 Pis 00' 43", moving at 0.1 degrees per day, and is 1555601913km away and receding.

Saturn Is In Pisces

Oh, how splendid! Saturn, the cosmic equivalent of a stern schoolmaster with a protractor, is taking a jaunt through the dreamy realm of Pisces. Imagine if you will, a giant, ring-clad planet with a penchant for rules and order, doing the backstroke in an ocean of star-studded fantasies. Sounds like the setup for an intergalactic comedy, doesn't it? This celestial sitcom could draw out some intriguing scenarios. Picture yourself, comfortably ensconced in your daydream bubble, mulling over grand plans of publishing your magnum opus or launching that pet food delivery service you've been contemplating since your cat, Mr. Whiskers, gave you the stink eye for running out of his favourite salmon treats. Then, *knock knock*, who's there? Oh, just Saturn, dropping by to ensure your dreams have a sound business plan and a five-year forecast. Ugh! Saturn in Pisces might feel like the universe has appointed a cosmic auditor to scrutinize your dreams. And let's be honest, no one likes their daydreams to come with a side of reality-check. But before you hang a "Do Not Disturb" sign on your mental door, remember this: Saturn may be a stickler for details, but he's also a whizz at turning dreams into reality. So, maybe let him in? Just tidy up a bit first. Now, all this cerebral probing might leave you feeling a trifle restless – like you've had one too many cups of cosmic coffee. Pisces, after all, rules over sleep and dreams. So, when Saturn, the meticulous taskmaster, comes knocking, it might feel more like an alarm clock than a lullaby. Here's a tip: embrace the inner hippie! Meditate, take a leisurely walk amongst the trees (feel free to hug a few), breathe deeply, and maybe even sneak in a nap or two (dream journal at the ready!). And for the love of all things celestial, try to get a full night's sleep! You might want to turn in early, just to give your brain some time to unwind from all that Saturn-induced planning. So, as Saturn paddles through Pisces, remember: it might feel like a cosmic comedy, but who knows? The joke might just be on the universe when you turn those dreams into reality.

Uranus In Taurus: The Bull Meets the Mad Scientist

Alright folks, buckle up because Uranus, the rebellious teenager of our celestial family, has set up camp in Taurus, the stubborn bull of the zodiac. Imagine Sarah Connor trying to explain time travel to a very confused and grumpy ox. That's where we're at right now. The old school Taurus, who can out-stubborn a mule, is being asked to do the cha-cha with unpredictable Uranus. Sounds fun, right?

Here's the deal. The Bull likes routine and stability, but Uranus? It's about as stable as a three-legged stool on a roller coaster. It's here to shake up your world whether you like it or not.

Now, let's talk about Taurus' favorite topic - money. With Uranus in Taurus, think of it like a mad scientist getting involved in your finances. Expect some revolutionary new ways to handle your moolah, from digital currencies sprouting like mushrooms after rain to banks transforming into something out of a sci-fi novel. It's like inviting Elon Musk to redesign your piggy bank.

On the home front, Uranus in Taurus will have you rethinking everything from your credit card debt to your obsession with collecting limited edition Star Trek figurines. You might just find yourself ready to break free from the chains of materialism or at least reconsidering that subscription to 'Fancy Teas of the World'.

This may all sound as unsettling as finding E.T. in your bathtub, but remember, change is often just what we need. Resisting won't help. It's like trying to hold back the tide with a teaspoon. Let Uranus do its thing. The changes you make now could lead to a greater stability that's as enduring as the pyramids...or at least, as reliable as your favorite pair of jeans.

So, embrace the chaos, my friends. After all, as Sarah Connor herself said, "The future is not set. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves."

Neptune in Pisces: It's a Trip, Man!

Alright stargazers, listen up! Neptune - that big blue gas giant - has decided to get cozy with Pisces, the fishy folks of the zodiac. And, no, I'm not talking about some celestial sushi situation. You see, Neptune and Pisces are like peanut butter and jelly, they just go together.

With Neptune chillin' in Pisces, we're getting a whole new level of 4D vision! It's kind of like when you put on those 3D glasses at a movie theatre, but instead of seeing dinosaurs pop out at you, you start seeing...well, everything! You'll be able to spot a phony faster than you can say 'Star Trek is better than Star Wars' (yeah, I said it!).

But it's not all about playing Sherlock Holmes with your social circle. No, Neptune in Pisces is also about tapping into that inner hippie of yours. You know, the one that's been itching to start a compost pile or go to a drum circle. It's a time to embrace your inner dreamer, your spiritual explorer, your ‘save the whales’ advocate.

This is your cosmic invite to enroll in that underwater basket weaving class you've always wanted to take, or to build your own Jedi-style meditation chamber at home. It’s about exploring your emotional intelligence and then sharing your discoveries with the world. It's like a science fair, but for your soul!

So, remember folks, while Neptune is off gallivanting around the cosmos with Pisces, we are being encouraged to channel our inner Spock: logical yet deeply emotional, understanding the vast universe while feeling profoundly connected to it. So, grab your telescopes and your tie-dye t-shirts, my friends. It's gonna be a wild ride!

Pluto In Capricorn

Alright my star-studded amigos, Pluto is currently shimmying its way through Capricorn and trust me, it's a wild ride. We're talking cosmic conga line through the Capricorn constellation, and it's going to shake things up. You know how Pluto is, always making a dramatic entrance. I mean, one minute it's a planet, then it's not, then it's a dwarf planet - talk about having an identity crisis!

Now, let's not forget that both Pluto and Capricorn are known for their shared love of power and success...kinda like that power couple in high school who won all the awards but never let you copy their homework. They're all about getting things done and they're not here to mess around, which means we might forget to listen to others. A little tip from your friendly neighborhood astrologer, don't turn into a space dictator. It's always good to hear other people's ideas...even if they think Star Wars is better than Star Trek.

Pluto's not just here for a boogie though, it's also bringing a big old wrecking ball to our negative patterns and habits. Essentially, it's like a cosmic Marie Kondo, helping us to declutter our emotional closets. Of course, this means some things might need to be destroyed (hopefully not your comic book collection) to make way for the new. So, buckle up, buttercups! It's time to embrace the chaos and get ready to build something better. Remember, not all heroes wear capes, some just survive Pluto in Capricorn!

Today is a good day to pour your creativity and self-expression into coming up with new ways of doing things. Positive surprises are likely today as your aura is ready for the new and unusual. By going off the beaten pathway, you may open up many possibilities for further spiritual and personal growth. You feel free today from all restrictions and you want to fly like the eagle, unbounded by any restraints. Soar high and don't limit yourself.

Mercury

Confusion is likely today in your relationships with other people. Take care and read all the fine print. Stay away from taking permanent legal actions as your thinking is colored by who knows what. You may be suckered into something you don't want to do or don't believe in, so watch your step. Misunderstandings in communicating with others is possible. Remember, they may not be hearing what you are trying to say. Nervous anxiety and tension may make you feel listless today. Don't let your imagination carry you away.You might have problems concentrating because your mind is often wandering. Your thinking is exceptionally imaginative, intuitive, and creative. Stretching the truth, whether done consciously or not (or a bit of both), is associated with this position. Bored with anything dull, routine, or lifeless, you often dramatize or connect higher meaning to ordinary events and situations. You are often vague in your communications, purposefully or not, as you resist being pinned down to any one opinion or stance. This is partly due to your ability to see so many different points of view and perspectives. Logical, detail-oriented work and studies are not designed for your way of thinking and learning. Creative presentations, ripe with images and imagery, are what grab your attention and interest. Your style of communication, or possibly thinking, is often self-defeating, and you should consciously avoid a tendency to give up on projects or plans before they even get off the ground. Planning ahead is not a preference, as you prefer to move along running on the fuel of inspiration and intuition.Your style of communication may be unusual, perhaps with many pauses or digressions. You may be deliberately vague or unintentionally so, depending on your nature. Some of you are great storytellers.Sample interpretation from the Merlin report — Your mind is highly imaginative and creative and you possess dramatic, artistic, or musical abilities. As a child, you enjoyed daydreaming, fantasizing, pretending, and probably lived in “your own little world” a good deal. You perceive things which are not obvious to other people and you have an uncanny ability to “read” people and situations without being told anything about them. However, you must learn to discriminate between a true psychic perception and your imagination. Learning to discipline and focus your mind is necessary if you wish to use all of your creative potential. Otherwise, you could be simply a dreamer.Communication with others is difficult for you because you often find words frustrating and inadequate to express your experiences and perceptions. Also, you may purposefully mystify or deceive others.Some Famous People with the Mercury in Hard Aspect to Neptune: Squares – Bob Dylan, Jim Morrison, Donald Trump, Jim Bakker, Mae West, Spencer Tracy, Tom Snyder, Rich Little, Jack London, Bob Dylan; Oppositions – Bono (U2), Marlene Dietrich, Richard Chamberlain, Florence Henderson, Charles De Gaulle, Christian Dior.

Today is the day to expand and set new plans into action. Broaden your horizons and don't limit your possibilities. Business ventures are favored, as is higher education, legal matters, spiritual endeavors and charitable pursuits. Luck is all around you today, but you have to make it happen. Don't just sit there waiting for it to come to you.You tend to be restless and prone to boredom. You need a partner who can keep up with your lightning responses to your environment - and one who truly understands your love of intellectual competition and sparring.You have tremendous personal resources with which to achieve your goals. Although the goals you set for yourself are likely to be somewhat ambitious, you are willing to work hard to see that they are achieved. Ever since you were a child and learned to invent indoor games to amuse yourself, you have steadily worked at developing your intellectual skills. This prepared you to deal well with competitive situations in your adult life.Communication is important to you. Your dramatic delivery and flair for using the right words make you a formidable opponent in any debate. It is particularly difficult to win a debate with you because you only present information that is well documented and convincing. You also use this skill to come to the aid of others who cannot defend themselves intellectually, which is admirable indeed!Others admire your confidence and straightforwardness. You respect others who stand firm on their convictions and have high ambitions. It is important that everyone who deals with you does so with honesty and integrity.In your love life, you appreciate a partner who is intellectually strong. You have a strong sex drive, but without the mental component, no relationship will last very long. You also seek a partner with spiritual consciousness. Your warmth and enthusiasm on a sexual level is apparent, and you don’t tire easily. Your interest doesn’t fade easily over time. — Interpretation sample from our LoveStyles report.This aspect indicates a harmony between your intellect and your physical strength, and you will most likely have little difficulty achieving your goals in life. It may appear to others that you are lucky sometimes, but you are also good at applying your talents to attain the desired results. You have a natural ability to be in the right place to grab new opportunities or to initiate a well-timed project. You are often successful in competition but sometimes may not even enter the contest because it doesn’t seem worth it to you.You are honest and forthright in your dealings with others, and you tend to trust others readily. You can be a bit careless about spending money, however, and this is probably because you are so eternally optimistic that there will always be plenty around. The possibility of failure does not enter your mind, although success itself is not that important to you–you’re just being you.In your relationships you are attracted to others who also seek a harmonious lifestyle. Your sexual nature is very strong, but you seek more than physical gratification from your mate. You want someone who will share in your life entirely and grow to know and understand you intimately. You appreciate a partner who is intellectually strong. You have a strong sex drive, but without the mental component, no relationship will last very long. You also seek a partner with spiritual consciousness. Your warmth and enthusiasm on a sexual level is apparent, and you don’t tire easily. Your interest doesn’t fade easily over time, either.Interestingly, you are able to be assertive without stepping on others’ toes. This is an important part of your attractiveness to women. — Interpretation from our LoveStyles: About Him report.Note on the differences between trines and sextiles: The trine aspect is the more dynamic of the two harmonious aspects. Those with the sextile can call upon these traits when needed, and those with the trine between the Mars and Jupiter have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their personalities, expressing them naturally and consistently.Alternate, short interpretations: Interpretation sample from the Merlin report – Mars sextile Jupiter or Mars trine Jupiter: *Your self-confidence and vitality are strong and you believe you can do just about anything you want to. You have an enterprising spirit, a good sense of timing, and the ability to sense what will succeed and what won’t. You usually make fortunate decisions in work or business activities. You enjoy healthy competition and you have a rather playful, good-humored attitude toward it. You mostly compete with yourself to see how far you can go or how much you can accomplish. You like to keep stretching your limits.Interpretation sample from the Your Spiritual Path report – You are usually able to direct your will to productive activities. You find the transcendent component in each relationship and build upon it. You exemplify joy in your daily activities.Interpretation sample from the Karmic Insight report – You have developed the capacity to direct your masculine/active, yang energies in healthy and positive ways. Thus, you have confidence in your “masculine” strengths and abilities. Ennobled by ideals of fair play and concern for the broader social implications of your choices, your actions are most often fortunate, leading to success and increased opportunities. A gift for leadership and inspiring others is also yours. Physical playfulness is an important way you can re-create and rejuvenate yourself.Some Famous People with Mars in Harmonious Aspect to Jupiter: Sextiles – Bill Cosby, Drew Barrymore, Serena Williams, Richard Speck, Vanessa Redgrave, Robert Pattinson, Peter O’Toole, Oliver North, Galileo, Patrick Duffy, Phil Donahue, Catherine Deneuve, Danny DeVito; Trines – Upton Sinclair, J.

Notes about Transits

Mars is all about action, and where Mars is in our chart with transits is a place where we are prepared to stand our ground. Mars transits can be really productive, but they can also be angsty, aggressive, and sometimes come from a place of anger. It's important to pay attention to how you direct that energy. Mars transits can last for up to a couple weeks.
Jupiter transits enhance your life with optimism and forward-thinking, and lasting for about a month, give you plenty of time to take advantage. Bigger and better is Jupiter's way of thinking, and should be yours as well.
Saturn transits, on the other hand, are where we get a major reality check, and if we’re not ready for them, they can be pretty rotten. Of course, if we’re prepared and up to the task, Saturn transits can also bring very well-deserved rewards, too. Saturn transits last a bit longer than Jupiter transits—usually 2 months or so at a time, but with retrograde cycles, you could be looking at the same lessons three times over a 6 month period.
The outer planets, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto last for such a long time that they make long-lasting impacts on our lives. In fact, Neptune and Pluto can last for two to three years! Consider their effects, plan accordingly, and make them part of your life for the better.
